I love that! I know it won't go anywhere but it's such a great "in your face" to the anti-freedom groups.

Bad bill. Should be 18 and older.

Annnnnnd it smacks up against that whole "How do you enforce a law/right that has a monetary cost attached? A.R.s are kinda expensive, will the state subsidize the purchase?"

 

Neat idea though.....let's listen for the noggins to explode if it ever comes up for debate on the floor.

Reminds me of Kennesaw, GA and the law they passed after hearing about the one in Morton Grove.

 

Linky thing

Raid the armory.

Goreville Illinois also passed a law requiring pistols when Chicago banned them. Think it has been dropped recently though

How did they enforce the original militia act of 1791? It required you bear your own musket.

Most Excellent !

At the Effingham rally at the EPC didn't they bring up something about taxpayer funded firearms?

Do you mean it's bad because it doesn't require those older than 35 to purchase an AR-style rifle?

 

I think the intent of this proposed legislation is to ensure that the segment of the population most likely to be in good enough health owns a militia-useful firearm. Essentially, it mirrors the general enlistment age range of the military, so that makes the most sense. It is, after all, called the "McDaniel Militia Act."

 

Now, perhaps it can be amended to encourage and provide tax credits for those older who volunteer to purchase one and be part of that group. However, the same legislator also proposed a bill to make sure that those 21 and older purchase a handgun, which would be more useful for self-defense for "non-militia" citizens. It's called the "McDaniel Second Amendment Act."

Ah. I see. However, there are some who would say that since it doesn't mandate it for everyone older than 18, it is flawed. I, personally, think it should be for ages up to 45 at least.

It would be nice to encourage individuals to take responsibility for one's own personal protection

Wonder if Missouri wants annex about 97% of Illinois?

Failing that, I'd settle for one particular county.....and it ain't Cook. I wouldn't wish that on my baseball team's home state.
